We will teach you all we know. Its not complicated, you just sit around and watch for birds. Sometimes its difficult identifying the bird in the book. I always travel with my bird book and check off all the ones I have spotted.

I've already joined the group and you can go with me when I arrive in September. Our house backs up to woods and most likely a lot of birds hanging out in those trees. We can have a glass of wine while were bird watching.

Super! I've got good binoculars and love birds--not to mention wine, of course :thumbup:

Does anyone know of a good FL bird book to buy?

Here's a link to bird books. I have a Birds of Michigan field guide, which is like the first book on this link. Its a good one and easy to use. I also have a Smithsonian ( hardcover ) Birds of America & South America that I use when traveling. They are detailed and more information.

You might want to get a Florida's WaterFowl book also. I can't remember if the small field guide has waterfowl. Its already packed so I can't look for you.

Amazon.com: florida bird book (http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aflorida%20bird%20book)

If you use a tablet check the iBird app. Available for Android and IOS. It goes on sale frequently.

Even if it's a BYOB, my husband and I will be ready
in September with our books and binoculars.

Great, while us girls bird watch our husbands can talk about Dobermans. Tom has always had Dobbies or German Sheppard's. We just put our Doberman down a few years ago, along with our Maltese, within two weeks of each other. We still miss them.

I am interested in birding - Fernandina Villages

[PaPaLarry]

I would be very interested in learning about birds, and where they hibernate. Have a feeder, and see lots of cardinals, but can't identify the other birds.

Do birds drink wine???

[Peek]

It looks like we have interest in a birding club. How do we get together? I think someone said that we will start in the fall, right? So keep me in the loop.

[sharonga]

I am interested. Put me on the list please. I do need binoculars. I will wait until we are organized. Thank you.

I just love this guide and I bought mine at The Butterfly Rainforest gift shop. You can order it online.click here (http://quickreferencepublishing.com/2011/08/birds-of-central-florida/)

click here (http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/index.php/exhibits/always-on-display/butterfly-rainforest/visitor-info/) to see the rainforest
It is about 4" wide and 10" long folded and 24" wide unfolded. It's in heavy duty plastic.

I never had an interest in birds or photography, mostly just golf. I golf everyday and carry this guide in my golf bag. I also bought a 50x camera that I tote along too. I zoom in and take pictures of water birds on the golf courses. This one comes from Sweet Gum.

There is much to do down here. I want to join your bird club too. I have joined the other bird club and those people are so lovely and smart it just amazes me. I think I will never learn the names of birds but I don't care.

I do know my first telephone number but that's another thread. When and where is the next meeting?

[Cirezz]

*HI*THANKS for all the Interest...but the group membership is closed now* HAPPY :) Birding!!!*
